Short stature is a major problem in paediatric ERF patients with 29% of transplant patients and 41% of dialysis patients below the second percentile for height. Only 6.5% of transplant patients and 15.5% of dialysis patients are receiving rhGH. There is no significant difference in the height distribution of patients commencing RRT and those who have had a functioning allograft for at least 1 year. In patients with at least 2 years between presentation and RRT, there is a significant fall in height Z score. This overall statistic is strongly influenced by the very poor growth of patients with glomerular disease.
